Arnavutkoy iskele
Arnavutköy İskelesi sits right on the Bosphorus waterfront in one of Istanbul's most charming historic neighborhoods, where you can tie up and step straight into a village-like stretch of Ottoman-era yalıs, waterfront fish restaurants, and café-lined cobblestone streets. The setting is genuinely scenic, with the strait's traffic rolling past and the hills of the European shore rising behind you. A ferry runs regularly from Beşiktaş for about 17–20 ₺, so it's easy to hop between here and the main city hub in under 30 minutes.
